V Sphere: 我认为民主党目前面临的困境在于，他们缺乏有效的行动来对抗特朗普政府。虽然特朗普的许多行为都备受争议，甚至违宪，但民主党却显得缺席或支持不足。我认为民主党需要学习特朗普的策略，即通过政治表演来吸引公众的注意力，并以此来推动自己的议程。他们需要跳出传统的立法、司法和战术框架，思考如何通过一些引人注目的举动来改变叙事。 Sammy Sage: 我同意民主党需要采取更加积极主动的姿态。他们不能仅仅满足于批评特朗普，而是需要提出自己的解决方案，并以一种能够引起公众共鸣的方式来表达。我认为民主党需要更加关注叙事的力量，并利用社交媒体等平台来传播自己的信息。他们需要展现出自信和乐观，而不是总是抱怨和批评。 Akilah Hughes: 我也认为民主党需要改变策略。他们不能总是试图与特朗普比谁更酷，而是应该专注于那些能够真正改善人民生活的政策。我认为民主党需要更加关注民生问题，并提出一些切实可行的解决方案。他们需要展现出自己的价值观，并以一种能够引起公众共鸣的方式来表达。我感觉现在左派都在互相攻击，我们需要团结起来，不能让极右思想占据上风。我们需要一场精神动员会，而不是一直沉浸在失败的情绪中。

And finally, the talk about the power of protest, but most importantly, they want a time machine so that Oprah could win the 2016 presidential election.
